Hey to all the bro's on the site.
I've talked about Depression in the past, but never on these forums.
I myself am a person who struggles with a case of depression. No, not a case of the "Mondays" or the "sads".
From all the bro's on this site, I'm sure some are or have had dealt with depression.
Not only would I like to make this a place where people can share their stories, but also leave tips for others who are dealing with depression.
I've been fighting depression for a better part of a year now, and I've had ups and downs. And sometimes even a fallback, which nobody wants.
I'd like to leave some tips, but remember, these are for me still a work in progress too.
I forced myself to do small and simple tasks, it might seem stupid to you, but I believe that if you complete even the smallest task, that you do get a small feeling of accomplishment. And I do bigger and bigger tasks slowly and steady, and it does feel more and more rewarding.
Talking, is an amazing thing. Either your parents/friends/family or even a suicide/depression help line can help.
Talking really is a MUST imho.
Seeking help: In my case, it was that bad that I had to seek out help. And I got help, and for me it does feel good to know others are actually there trained, and trying to help you.
Hobbies: Hobbies are a perfect way to release some stress. Either it be sports, arts and crafts or even filming. IF you have NO hobbies or no distractions, you'll keep on feeling worse and worse, because you only concentrate on how shitty you are feeling. So, picking up a hobby could relieve some stress.
If I can think of other things that I wanted to add, I'll edit my page.
If any of you bros have tips and stories you want to share, feel free.
